Chapter 193 Shooting yourself in the foot
Qiao Ye was very upset when he saw Lu Qingrong vomiting blood and fainting.
I couldn't help but complain, "His psychological endurance is too poor."
"You still want to pass the imperial examination and become an official?"
The clan leader and others all agreed with what she said.
If you can't even handle this little thing, you won't be able to go far even if you continue to do scientific research in the future.
Lu Qingrong fainted at this moment, otherwise he would probably want to vomit blood again after hearing her words.
Yu Wanzhi also felt like vomiting blood and fainting.
But her health is actually better than Lu Qingrong's.
I wanted to lose my temper and curse, but I knew I couldn't open my mouth at this time.
Otherwise, that damn old woman and that damn girl would probably keep holding on to her.
She supported the unconscious Lu Qingrong and felt very anxious.
She cried to Boss Lu and the others, "Brother, please help me get a doctor."
When these people came, she deliberately asked her children to hide in the room and not come out.
Boss Lu couldn't leave yet, so he said to Dalang who followed him, "Go and ask your fifth uncle to get a doctor to come and take a look."
Dalang nodded and ran out immediately.
Seeing her youngest son vomiting blood and fainting, Mrs. Lu was no longer as distressed and worried as before.
I even suspected that my youngest son was pretending to be sick like Yu Wanzhi.
She looked at Qiao Ye and asked, "Wu Lang's wife, what should we do now?"
Qiao Ye replied: "Grandma, since Uncle Five and Aunt Five want a fair division of the family property, we must satisfy them no matter what."
"Haven't you always asked your uncle to help you keep accounts?"
"Uncle has brought the account book, so let's do the math now."
"How much has the public earned over the years? Each family should get that much."
"Then calculate the total cost of each room over the years."
"Which family is short of the money they deserve? We will give that family the difference."
"If any room exceeds the amount, it will have to pay it back to the public."
“This is fair to every room.”
She added: "After the calculation is done, ask the clan leader to help write the documents for the division of the family."
"The division of the family was decided by the elders, and you have also met the requirements of your fifth uncle and fifth aunt. Whether they agree or disagree is not important."
"Do you think this is okay?"
Dividing the family property is not adoption and requires the consent of the parties involved.
The division of the family is mainly decided by the elders who are the head of the family, and then the clan leader and three clan elders are asked to act as witnesses, and the division document is written.
It doesn’t matter whether the scumbag uncle and his wife agree or not, because they have no right to object.
I said so much before just because I didn't want to give others anything to talk about me.
By the way, I also want to give my fifth uncle and his wife a hard time.
The old lady, the head of the family, wanted to divide the five rooms, and she had to get the approval of the clan leader and the elders, so it was done and the government recognized it.
The old lady nodded to Qiao Ye and said, "What you said makes sense. I will listen to you."
"The fifth couple insisted on fairness, so how could I, as their mother, disagree?"
"After all, I used to favor this family the most."
She looked at the tribe leaders and said, "Tribal leaders, please help me be a witness."
The clan leader nodded, "This division of the family is fair, and we will naturally bear witness to it."
"You guys do the math, and I'll write it down on the separation document."
He didn't expect that the Lu family had prepared so thoroughly that they even brought the account books of their expenses over the years.
At the same time, there is a feeling that Lu Qingrong and his wife will dig a hole to bury themselves.
Old Lady Lu said to Old Master Lu: "Take out the account book and ask Wu Lang and his wife to help with the calculation. They can calculate quickly."
Wulang and his wife had anticipated that the youngest son and his wife would insist on a fair division of the property.
That's why I asked the boss to bring the account book over.
I didn't do it at home, so I brought it here to be done for the clan leader, clan elders, and the fifth brother and his wife to see.
Boss Lu took out a few account books and placed them on the table.
Lu Shao and Qiao Ye sat over.
Qiao Ye picked up one of the books and started reading.
Lu Shao followed the method his young wife had taught him and took a piece of paper and wrote the classification and date on it.
Then write down what she reads below the corresponding words.
This reading is also for the people present to hear.
When the recitation was almost finished, Dalang called for the doctor.
The doctor gave Lu Qingrong acupuncture and pressed several acupoints.
Lu Qingrong woke up slowly.
The doctor prescribed some medicine and told them to get it themselves later.
He also reminded Lu Qingrong to be careful not to get so angry, otherwise if he fainted a few more times, it would affect his lifespan.
Lu Qingrong valued his life very much and thought that he must suppress his anger in the future.
After the doctor left, he heard Qiao Ye reading something that sounded like an account book.
Listening to the content, I feel inexplicably familiar.
Seeing Lu Shao writing again, he couldn't help but look at Yu Wanzhi and ask, "What are they doing?"
Yu Wanzhi leaned over and whispered in his ear.
After listening to this, Lu Qingrong suddenly felt a headache.
He did know that his mother had always had the habit of asking his eldest brother to keep accounts.
And it was he who suggested it.
He suggested that every income from the family treasury be recorded in detail in the account.
He took the account book home with him.
After the old lady agreed, she also asked her eldest brother to record every penny he spent.
In the past, every time he went home, he would take a look at the account book to understand and control the family’s income situation.
If they were to calculate and divide the money like this now, not only would their family not be able to gain any advantage, they might even have to pay back the loss.
If I had said earlier that all the money I had earned recently was the dead girl's private property and that this was how the division of the family business should be calculated.
How could he possibly listen to his wife and ask for a fair division of the property and just their share?
So I hurried to remedy the situation.
He said with a sick look on his face: "Since we are a family, I don't want to care about it anymore."
"Mom insists on dividing our room, so let's do it this way."
"You don't have to count anymore."
Everyone present could hear what he was thinking.
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "How can we just let it go?"
"Just now it was you and Aunt Wu who insisted on a fair division of the family property."
"Grandma and the whole family will also meet your requirements."
"If we let it go like this, and you go out and throw dirty water on us, saying that the division of the family is unfair to you, won't grandma be blamed?"
"This is not okay."
Uncle Wu doesn't want fairness now?
Humph, why do you think it's so beautiful?
The old lady also said, "I don't want to bear the blame and infamy for unfairly treating your family. It's better to settle it."
The unfilial son Lao Wu actually wants her to bear the blame again. He is dreaming.
The four brothers of Boss Lu also said: "Yes, since we are going to divide the family, we should settle the accounts."
"Fifth brother, you asked for fairness, so we will definitely be fair and will never let outsiders gossip."
I was thinking, has Lao Wu’s clever schemes been used on them?
The clan leader and the elders also said, "Yes, the division of the family property still needs to be settled clearly so that we can bear witness."
Lu Qingrong: "..."
He suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
After Qiao Ye finished reading, Lu Shao began to count.
He calculated very quickly, and then recorded in the account book how much the family earned and how much the company spent.
Subtract the remaining amount and calculate how much each room should get.
Then he reported how much each room cost.
According to the rules of the village, the old houses must be divided among the eldest children in each family.
This is not calculated separately and will belong to the eldest wife in the future.
He converted the family's land, including the pigs and chickens, into money according to the market price and put them in the land.
At the same time, to prevent the ex-father from finding fault.
After Lu Qingrong became a scholar, he counted the money he earned from tax exemption for his family's land as the money earned by the fifth branch and handed it over to the public.
Naturally, the amount of grain that the five rooms take away every year is also converted into money and included in the expenses of the five rooms.
Anyway, absolute fairness is guaranteed and no one can find any fault with it.
The final calculation result was that except for the fifth room, the other four rooms were all in the red and had to be compensated.
Not only was the fifth branch not eligible for any share of the money or land, it also had to pay back more than forty taels of silver from the public treasury.
Lu Qingrong frowned, "Why do we need so much compensation? Let me see."
Those used in the public palace wouldn’t also be counted as belonging to their family, right?
Moreover, after he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he helped his family avoid taxes for several years.
